WHEREAS, the Borrowers, Lenders, and the Agent are parties to that certain Second Amendment and Limited Waiver, dated as of July 17, 2017, whereby the Agent and the Lenders agreed to waive the Designated Event of Default until July 24, 2017 (the “Extended Audit Deadline”);

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that the Agent and the Required Lenders extend the Original Deadline until the date that is the earlier of (a) the occurrence and continuation of a Default or Event of Default other than the Designated Event of Default and (b) August 31, 2017 (the “New Extended Audit Deadline”) and continue to provide a limited waiver of the Designated Event of Default;

WHEREAS, Agent and the Lenders are willing to extend the Extended Audit Deadline to the New Extended Audit Deadline provided that certain provisions of the Credit Agreement are amended, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms used herein (including the preamble and recitals hereof) without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement (including Schedule 1.1 thereto).

2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in writing by Agent) of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

(a) Schedule 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:

““Third Amendment” means that certain Third Amendment to Credit Agreement and Limited Waiver, dated as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, by and among the Borrowers, Lenders, and Agent.

“Third Amendment Effective Date” means July 21, 2017.”

(b) Schedule 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the below definitions in their entirety as follows:

““Available Revolver Increase Amount” means $0.

“Financial Covenant Triggering Period” means the period commencing from the date (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (b) Excess Availability is less than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and (ii) $6,125,000, to the date (x) if such Financial Covenant Triggering Period was triggered by clause (a) above, the date that all Events of Default have been cured or waived, and (y) if such Financial Covenant Triggering Period was triggered by clause (b) above, such time as Excess Availability has at all times been greater than the greater of (i) 12.5% of the Maximum Revolver Amount and (ii) $6,125,000 for thirty (30) consecutive days.

“Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness” means, as of any date of determination, Indebtedness (other than the Obligations, but including Capitalized Lease Obligations), incurred after the Closing Date and at the time of, or within 120 days after, the acquisition of any fixed assets for the purpose of financing all or any part of the acquisition cost thereof, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not in excess of $3,000,000.”

“(g) [Reserved].”

3. Waiver of Designated Event of Default. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 5 hereof, the Agent and the Lenders hereby agree to waive the Designated Event of Default until the New Extended Audit Deadline. On the date constituting the New Extended Audit Deadline, the Designated Event of Default will be reinstated as if the waiver set forth above had never been provided and failure of the Parent Borrower to be in compliance on such date with the No Qualification Requirement (as defined on Schedule A) shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.

4. Effectiveness of Third Amendment and Limited Waiver. This Third Amendment and Limited Waiver shall be effective only to the extent specially set forth herein and shall not (a) be construed as a waiver of any breach, Default or Event of Default other than as specifically waived herein nor as a waiver of any breach, Default or Event of Default of which the Agent and the Lenders have not been informed by the Borrowers, (b) affect the right of the Agent and the Lenders to demand compliance by the Borrowers with all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, except as specifically modified or waived by this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver, (c) be deemed a waiver of any transaction or future action on the part of the Borrowers requiring the Agent’s or the Lenders’ consent or approval under the Loan Documents, or (d) except as waived hereby, be deemed or construed to be a waiver or release of, or a limitation upon, the Agent’s or any Lenders’ exercise of any rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether arising as a consequence of any Default or Event of Default (other than the Designated Event of Default) which may now exist or otherwise, all such rights and remedies hereby being expressly reserved. Except as expressly provided herein, Agent and each Lender hereby reserves and preserves all of its rights and remedies against the Borrowers and any Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, at law (including under the Code), in equity, or otherwise including, without limitation, the right to declare all Obligations immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each Borrower hereby represents that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each Borrower also waives the benefit of each other similar provision of applicable federal or state law (including without limitation the laws of the state of California), if any, pertaining to general releases after having been advised by its legal counsel with respect thereto.

Each Borrower acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such Claims and agrees that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. Each Borrower understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

(b) Each Borrower, for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, and officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, and any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each

Releasee above that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by such Person pursuant to the above release. Each Borrower further agrees that it shall not dispute the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations thereunder, or the validity, priority, enforceability or the extent of Agent’s Lien on any item of Collateral under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If any Borrower, or any of their respective successors, assigns, or officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys, or any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it violate the foregoing covenant, such Person, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Releasee as a result of such violation.

11. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION. THIS THIRD AMENDMENT AND LIMITED WAIVER SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE PROVISION SET FORTH IN SECTION 12 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AND SUCH PROVISIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.

12. Amendments. This Third Amendment and Limited Waiver cannot be altered, amended, changed or modified in any respect except in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement.

13. Counterpart Execution. This Third Amendment and Limited Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Third Amendment and Limited Waiver. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver.

14. Effect on Loan Documents.

(a) The Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver shall not operate, except as expressly set forth herein, as a modification or waiver of any right, power, or remedy of Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. The waivers, consents and modifications set forth herein are limited to the specifics hereof (including facts or occurrences on which the same are based), shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall neither excuse any future non-compliance with the Loan Documents nor operate as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default (other than the Designated Event of Default), shall not operate as a consent to any further waiver, consent or amendment or other matter under the Loan Documents, and shall not be construed as an indication that any future waiver or amendment of covenants or any other provision of the Credit Agreement will be agreed to, it being understood that the granting or denying of any waiver or amendment which may hereafter be requested by Borrowers remains in the sole and absolute discretion of Agent and Lenders. To the extent that any terms or provisions of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver conflict with those of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the terms and provisions of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver shall control.

(b) Upon and after the effectiveness of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified and amended hereby.

(c) To the extent that any of the terms and conditions in any of the Loan Documents shall contradict or be in conflict with any of the terms or conditions of the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver, such terms and conditions are hereby deemed modified or amended accordingly to reflect the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as modified or amended hereby.

(d) This Third Amendment and Limited Waiver is a Loan Document.

(e) Unless the context of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver refer to this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties. Any reference herein to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean (a) the payment or repayment in full in immediately available funds of (i) the principal amount of, and interest accrued and unpaid with respect to, all outstanding Loans, together with the payment of any premium applicable to the repayment of the Loans, (ii) all Lender Group Expenses that have accrued and are unpaid regardless of whether demand has been made therefor, (iii) all fees or charges that have accrued hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, or under any other Loan Document (including the Letter of Credit Fee and the Unused Line Fee) and are unpaid, (b) in the case of contingent reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, providing Letter of Credit Collateralization, (c) in the case of obligations with respect to Bank Products (other than Hedge Obligations), providing Bank Product Collateralization, (d) the receipt by Agent of cash collateral in order to secure any other contingent Obligations for which a claim or demand for payment has been made on or prior to such time or in respect of matters or circumstances known to Agent or a Lender at such time that are reasonably expected to result in any loss, cost, damage, or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), such cash collateral to be in such amount as Agent reasonably determines is appropriate to secure such contingent Obligations, the payment or repayment in full in immediately available funds of all other outstanding Obligations (including the payment of any termination amount then applicable (or which would or could become applicable as a result of the repayment of the other Obligations) under Hedge Agreements provided by Hedge Providers) other than (i) unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations, (ii) any Bank Product Obligations (other than Hedge Obligations) that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Bank Product Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid or cash collateralized, and (iii) any Hedge Obligations that, at such time, are allowed by the applicable Hedge Provider to remain outstanding without being required to be repaid, and (f) the termination of all of the Commitments of the Lenders. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record.

15. Entire Agreement. This Third Amendment and Limited Waiver, and the terms and provisions hereof, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous amendments or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether express or implied, oral or written.

16. Integration. This Third Amendment and Limited Waiver, together with the other Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

17. Reaffirmation of Obligations. Each Borrower hereby (a) acknowledges and reaffirms its obligations owing to Agent, each member of the Lender Group, and the Bank Product Providers under each Loan Document to which it is a party, and (b) agrees that each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party is and shall remain in full force and effect. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and reaffirms its obligations under Section 6 of the Second Amendment (i) to cooperate with Agent to provide Agent with updated reporting relative to Food Product Payables and other priority payables on or prior to July 24, 2017, and (ii) to pay each portion of the Second Amendment Fee on the date due and payable pursuant to the terms of Section 9 of the Second Amendment. Each Borrower hereby (i) further ratifies and reaffirms the validity and enforceability of all of the Liens and security interests heretofore granted, pursuant to and in connection with the Guaranty and Security Agreement or any other Loan Document to Agent, on behalf and for the benefit of each member of the Lender Group and each Bank Product Provider, as collateral security for the obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms, and (ii) acknowledges that all of such Liens and security interests, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for such obligations, continue to be and remain collateral for such obligations from and after the date hereof (including, without limitation, from after giving effect to this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver).

18. Ratification. Each Borrower hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents effective as of the date hereof and as modified hereby.

19. Severability. In case any provision in this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Third Amendment and Limited Waiver and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
